    摘要: A transmission gate structure includes first and second PMOS transistors positioned in a first active area, first and second NMOS transistors positioned in a second active area parallel to the first active area, and four metal segments parallel to the active areas. A first metal segment overlies the first active area, a fourth metal segment overlies the second active area, and second and third metal segments are a total of two metal segments positioned between the first and fourth metal segments. A first conductive path connects gates of the first PMOS and NMOS transistors, a second conductive path connects gates of the second PMOS and NMOS transistors, a third conductive path connects a source/drain (S/D) terminal of each of the first and second PMOS transistors and first and second NMOS transistors and includes a first conductive segment extending across at least three of the four metal segments.

    摘要: A transmission gate structure includes two PMOS transistors in a first active area, two NMOS transistors in a second active area, a first metal zero segment overlying the first active area, a second metal zero segment offset from the first metal zero segment by a distance, a third metal zero segment offset from the second metal zero segment by the distance, a fourth metal zero segment offset from the third metal zero segment by the distance and overlying the second active area. A first conductive segment overlies a first portion of the first active area included in one or both PMOS transistors, and a second conductive segment overlies a second portion of the second active area included in one or both NMOS transistors. The active areas and metal zero segments are perpendicular to the conductive segments, and the PMOS and NMOS transistors are coupled together through the conductive segments.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a transmission gate includes overlying a first active area with a first metal zero segment, the first active area including first and second PMOS transistors, overlying a second active area with a second metal zero segment, the second active area including first and second NMOS transistors, and configuring the first and second PMOS transistors and the first and second NMOS transistors as a transmission gate by forming three conductive paths. At least one of the conductive paths includes a first conductive segment perpendicular to the first and second metal zero segments, and the first and second metal zero segments have a first offset distance corresponding to three times a metal zero pitch.

    摘要: A method includes reserving a routing track within a cell, wherein the cell comprises signal lines for connection to elements within the cell, the cell further comprises a plurality of routing tracks, the reserved routing track is one of the plurality of routing tracks, and the reserved routing track is free of the signal lines. The method further includes determining whether any power rails overlap with any of the plurality of routing tracks other than the reserved routing track. The method further includes adjusting a position of the cell in response to a determination that at least one power rail overlaps with at least one routing track of the plurality of routing tracks other than the reserved routing track.
